Event Description

It was reported that a 2.75x18mm xience pro a and 3.0x26mm non-abbott stents were implanted in the left anterior descending coronary artery.Post dilatation was to be attempted with a 2.50x20mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc); however, huge resistance was noted during advancement due to interaction of devices.It was not clear which stent the bdc interacted with as the stents were directly after each other.The shaft kinked at two positions.Resistance with the previously placed stents or the guiding catheter was noted during withdrawal.After retracting the bdc, the distal shaft separated into two pieces outside the anatomy, nothing remained in the anatomy.The procedure was successfully completed with another 2.50x20mm nc trek.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient sequela.No additional information was provided.
